Thank you to Dee for bringing juice in for the tie! Top Story of the WeekLarken Rose – Meet the Freaks! – Liberty on the Rocks 2023 SpeechLarken Rose is one of the leading political philosophers associated with voluntaryism. He is the author of The Most Dangerous Superstition, which breaks down the illogic, illegitimacy and immorality surrounding the concept of “government” from every possible angle. He produces short videos that likewise expose the illegitimacy and ridiculousness of “government,” including The Tiny Dot, The Complete and Undeniable Truth, and The Jones Plantation, which was turned into a full-length feature film of the same name. My favorite short Larken Rose video is Statism – The Most Dangerous Religion, which was “mashed-up” by someone else from Larken’s rants and talks and whose various uploads have gone on to rack up around a million views.In the video above, we are providing a sneak peek at the Sedona Sessions – Liberty on the Rocks 2023, which will soon be streaming for free on CiVL – The free streaming platform for courageous stories and subversive ideas (Think Netflix for intellectuals, libertarians and voluntaryists).Continue reading…Etienne de la Boetie2 Explains the Organized Crime “Government” System on the Rewriting the Future PodcastI was on the Rewriting the Future Podcast talking about the organized crime “government”..

Lepore For Dailymail.ComA Republican running for Congress in Virginia has gone viral after a ‘family photo’ he used in a campaign ad was not what it seemed. Derrick Anderson, an Army veteran, is attempting to flip a blue district red in 2024 after its current occupant, Abigail Spanberger, announced she would vacate to run for governor in 2025.Anderson recently released a campaign ad that featured footage of himself with a woman and three children – what appeared to be a family photo – in an effort to play to women voters and family values.Continue readingHere Are the Top Recipients of AIPAC Money (As of July 2024)by Donald Shaw, Via Sludge MagazineAs Israel continues its war in Gaza and Congress debates military aid and other measures related to the conflict, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is dramatically ramping up its contributions to political campaigns in the U.S. during the 2023-2024 election cycle. Many candidates—incumbents and new candidates alike—are receiving far more campaign money from AIPAC than from any other organization, yet until now it has not been possible to view up-to-date information on these totals without accessing and analyzing tens of thousands of rows of data from the Federal Election Commission.Sludge is posting how much each candidate has received from AIPAC’s PAC this cycle, and will update the information on this page once a month, shortly after the PAC files its monthly disclosures with the FEC.

This makes Altman without a shadow of a doubt the best fundraiser in venture-backed startup history.

It is absurd.“Zero-Net” – by 2050 – is propagated by the globalists as a must for humanity’s and Mother Earth’s survival. It will not happen. Humanity will survive.And all this while they – the self-declared masters of the universe – namely the financial establishment know very well that CO2 is a life essential gas; without which there would be no life, no plants, no food, no economic development — no-nothing.Continue readingThe Great Acid Reflux ScamBy A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•Many commonly prescribed medications are given to patients despite the risks often outweighing the benefits.•Acid-suppressing drugs are among the worst offenders, with their overuse fueled by a lack of understanding about the crucial role of stomach acid throughout the body or that acid reflux is due to too little stomach acid (as the stomach acid of digestion gives the stomach’s opening a signal to seal and not let any more food in).•Deficient stomach acid causes many chronic health problems (e.g., macular degeneration, a myriad of autoimmune disorders such as asthma, and less overt forms of reflux that cause many common diseases of the ears, nose, and throat such as allergies, coughs, and sinusitis).•Acid blocking medications cause a variety of severe side effects, including a 19% increased risk of death and a comparable increase in cardiac events, kidney or liver disease, numerous infections, and bone damage.Continue readingSzabo Or NSA?

The opposite has happened.by

mf**@bu*************.com











(Matthew Fox)Fed easing hasn’t led to lower mortgage rates, with the 30-year fixed rate rising since the first rate cut.Mortgage rates are closely linked to the 10-year US Treasury yield, which has also risen over the period.Friday’s blockbuster jobs report reinforced these moves and extended increases.The Federal Reserve’s jumbo interest-rate cut in mid-September was welcome news to prospective homebuyers, with the expectation that a lower federal funds rate would help push mortgage rates lower.Instead, the opposite has happened.Since Fed Chair Jerome Powell lowered interest rates by 50 basis points on September 18, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has moved higher, not lower.According to data from Mortgage News Daily, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has jumped about 47 basis points since the Fed rate cut, to 6.62% from 6.15%.Continue readingIsrael drops ‘depleted uranium bombs’ inside Beirut: Officialby thecradleOn October 6, the head of the president of the Lebanese Association of Social Medicine said Israel has been bombing the southern suburbs of Beirut using banned bombs with uranium warheads and called for collecting samples from the bombed sites to send to the UN as part of an international investigation.President of the Lebanese Association of Social Medicine Raif Reda called for “collecting samples from the bombing sites and sending reports to the United Nations so the world can witness the bloody, criminal history of the Zionist enemy,” according to statements reported by the National News Agency (NNA).Warheads made with depleted uranium casings are designed to penetrate deep fortifications, causing significant destruction and releasing toxic gases. They are also radioactive and have been linked to massive increases in cancer rates in Iraq following the US wars on that country in 1991 and 2003.Continue readingPeter Thiel: From Gaza AI War Criminal To White House Puppet Masterby Alan MacleodThe screams of babies as buildings collapse in Gaza. Terrified parents carrying the remains of their children away in plastic carrier bags. These scenes – altogether too familiar today – come enabled by German-American tech billionaire Peter Thiel and his company, Palantir, whose software uses AI and big data to help the Israeli military surveil, target and slaughter hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. It is also used by ICE, the FBI and U.S. law enforcement to destroy privacy, to attack whistleblowers, and to turn the Orwellian concept of “pre-crime” (identifying and tracking potential subversives before they commit any offense) into a reality.The Silicon Valley oligarch has deep ties to the CIA and the military-industrial complex and is one of the Republican Party’s most powerful backers. Already one of the world’s most influential individuals, if Donald Trump wins in November, Thiel has set himself up to become a “shadow president,” wielding gigantic power over us all.

It is a Post Authorisation Safety Study (PASS) of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine. In summary, national regulators routinely require pharmaceutical manufacturers to conduct PASS studies as a condition of authorisation of most new medicines. The regulators provide data to the manufacturer covering millions of patients registered in national healthcare systems. The manufacturer then conducts analysis to determine whether the medicine has increased the risk of specified health conditions.Continue readingHere Are Trump’s Investment Industry Donorsby David MooreThe securities and investment industry has been the top donor to the Trump campaign and its super PACs, according to OpenSecrets. Donors from the securities and investment industry contributed a total of $193.8 million to the Trump campaign and outside spending groups supporting him, more than any other industry in OpenSecrets’ analysis, which covers donations disclosed to the Federal Election Commission as of Sept. 22. More donations to presidential candidates, and seven-figure sums given to their super PACs, will be reported to the FEC in the weeks ahead.If elected in November, Trump is promising to extend his signature 2017 tax law that disproportionately benefits the wealthiest taxpayers—including many of the big donors from the securities and investment industry.Donations from the securities and investment industry made up three in ten dollars raised by pro-Trump groups this cycle. In OpenSecrets’ categorization, the industry includes hedge funds and private equity firms as well as cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase. The OpenSecrets tally includes donors to the Trump campaign, leadership PAC, and pro-Trump super PACs MAGA Inc., America PAC, Right for America, and more.Continue readingBuoyancy-driven hybrid energy platform moves to full-scale pilotBy Loz BlainSwedish company NoviOcean has tested a third-gen prototype of its combination wind/solar/wave energy platform, a floating platform rated for up to 1 megawatt of consistent clean energy around the clock thanks to a fascinating buoyancy-driven mechanism. Next step: a full-scale pilot.This renewable energy platform will have a relatively small footprint once built at full size: 38 x 9 m (125 x 30 ft), the platform itself extending some 4 m (13 ft) above the water surface, and a further 12 m (39 ft) down below. Tiny, then, in comparison to some of the monstrous offshore wind turbines we’re starting to see, like the colossal 20-MW MingYang turbine that’s currently the world’s largest.But it’s designed to punch above its 140-ton weight, and deliver energy more consistently than any single-method generator.Continue reading’Trump Bible’ one of few that meet Walters’ criteria for Oklahoma classroomsby Jennifer Palmer, Paul Monies, Heather WarlickSuperintendent Ryan Walters isn’t just talking about buying Bibles for schools. Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material.A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters. But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A.

The minimum price for the Trump-backed Bible is $59.99, putting the potential sales revenue at about $7 million.The Trump Bible’s connection to China, which has not been previously reported, reveals a deep divide between the former president’s harsh anti-China rhetoric and his rush to cash in while campaigning.Continue readingTotal 2024 election spending projected to exceed previous recordBy Sarah Bryner and Brendan GlavinWith weeks left until Election Day, OpenSecrets predicts that 2024’s federal election cycle is on track to be the costliest ever, with a total cost of at least $15.9 billion in spending. This will surpass the 2020 cycle’s record-smashing total of $15.1 billion. Outside groups, largely super PACs, have spent roughly $2.6 billion on 2024 federal elections, outpacing spending in any previous cycle. If the current spending trends hold, OpenSecrets projects that total outside spending for the entire election cycle will exceed $5 billion.This staggering price tag of the 2024 election cycle comes with caveats. Inflation between 2020 and 2024 has been significant. When adjusted for inflation, the 2020 total fundraising total would be the equivalent of $18.3 billion in 2024 dollars. Continue readingDoD Directive 5240.01: The Stealth Expansion of Military Intelligence Powers in Life-or-Death Domestic ScenariosMonday, October 7th 2024 at 10:45 am] GreenMedInfo LLC.

The OCC is the federal regulator of banks that operate across state lines, which are known as “national banks.”The shorthand for this report should be the “Casino Report.” Increasingly, the report showcases how much dangerous trading activity the brokerage firms on Wall Street have been able to muscle into their federally-insured banking units where the deposits of millions of average Americans reside. Since the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 under the Bill Clinton administration, Wall Street trading firms have been allowed to combine with federally-insured banks – creating an endless series of crises and bailouts.Continue reading”Hunger Games $hit”: DHS Head Mayorkas Shops In Georgetown While Katrina-Like Disaster Unfolds In North Carolinaby Tyler DurdenA massive shitstorm has erupted for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after he told reporters last week that FEMA “does not have the funds” for the remainder of the Atlantic hurricane season. Meanwhile, reports suggest the agency’s resources were depleted to address Biden-Harris’ open southern border policies that facilitated the greatest migrant invasion this nation has ever seen. On Sunday morning, the latest power data for the US Southeast region showed that across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georiga, more than 400,000 customers are without power.Rescue operations in western North Carolina are continuing amid reports that FEMA hindered private citizens from flying aircraft and other ground-based operations to bring in supplies or conduct rescue operations. It’s just been an epic mess by the federal government.Continue readingGilbert Bigio: Israel’s Man in Haiti and the Architect Behind the US Migrant Crisisby Kit KlarenbergIn December 2022, Canada imposed strict sanctions on Gilbert Bigio, frequently referred to as “Haiti’s only billionaire” and the deeply impoverished country’s “richest man.” He, along with two other super-wealthy Haitian citizens, was accused by Ottowa of using his outsized influence and power in the country “to protect and enable the illegal activities of the armed criminal gangs” that have been tearing Port-au-Prince apart for years. Since then, Bigio has remained at liberty and unpunished – meanwhile, Haiti has slid ever further into catastrophe.Markedly, no other Western country – notably the sanctions-happy U.S. – followed Canada’s lead. While wave upon wave of UN-mandated peacekeepers from every corner of the world have been deployed to Haiti in recent years, they have been unable to quell  – and often exacerbated – the violence that has left the country without a functioning state or civil society. Kenya, currently leading an international “anti-gang” initiative in Port-au-Prince, recently called for the effort to be transformed into a dedicated U.N. peacekeeping operation.Continue readingFlashback: Elon Musk Is Not a Renegade Outsider – He’s a Massive Pentagon Contractorby Alan MacleodAUSTIN, TEXAS – Elon Musk’s proposed takeover of Twitter has ruffled many feathers among professional commentators. “Musk is the wrong leader for Twitter’s vital mission,” read one Bloomberg headline.

For democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less.” The irony of outlets owned by Michael Bloomberg and Jeff Bezos warning of the dangers of permitting a billionaire oligarch to control our media was barely commented upon.Added to this, a host of celebrities publicly left the social media platform in protest against the proposed $44 billion purchase. This only seemed to confirm to many free speech-minded individuals that the South African billionaire was a renegade outsider on a mission to save the internet from authoritarian elite control (despite the fact that he is borrowing money from the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia in order to do so).Continue readingScotland cut down 14 million trees for wind farms, while the UK spends £22 billion on carbon capture machines—the same function trees provide for free.by Alan MacleodAUSTIN, TEXAS – Elon Musk’s proposed takeover of Twitter has ruffled many feathers among professional commentators. “Musk is the wrong leader for Twitter’s vital mission,” read one Bloomberg headline.

This only seemed to confirm to many free speech-minded individuals that the South African billionaire was a renegade outsider on a mission to save the internet from authoritarian elite control (despite the fact that he is borrowing money from the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia in order to do so).Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsYour 1.5 Minutes of Zen! – The Liberty on the rocks – Sedona – VIDEO! This year, Republicans are saying, “Hey, Elect Trump!” And honestly, he is going to rob everyone and force these policies on you.  The Democrats are saying, “Hey, Elect Kamala!” And honestly, she is going to rob everyone and force these other policies on you”Voluntaryists are saying: “Hey, Let’s not rob anyone!” “Government” is illegitimate and immoral on its face; it is the “technique” being used to rob and control the population.The world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order, and the free market can provide all the services provided by the “government” better, faster and cheaper without waste, fraud, abuse and extortion.Join David Friedman, Dr. Walter Block, Etienne de la Boetie2, Larken Rose, Derrick Broze, and James Corbett! in Sedona on November 1-3rd… live or via stream… to find out what the monopoly Mainstream Media and the controlled opposition voices of the Mainstream Alternative Media have been hiding from you. This year, Don’t “Vote Harder” to Rob Your Neighbors! in fake elections!

PLUS Liberty on the Rocks – Sedona – The Video! Dear Subscribers,The national debt jumped $204 billion  on October 2nd while the US Treasury had to draw down its cash balance to pay bills by an additional $72 billion resulting in a $275 billion deficit in a single day.  What is the meaning of this insanity?  Are the organized crime banks and their puppet “governments” waging economic warfare against the global population as the information revolution of the internet begins to expose their illegitimacy and criminality? Whether you believe that or not, it is clear that “government” doesn’t work.. The “Con-stitution” doesn’t really limit “government” or protect even basic individual rights… and the whole thing has enriched a few at the expense of the many! So… What do we replace it with? Nothing!  That is the good news message of our conference and the importance of our conference… Once this organized crime system crashes… it is important to educate as many folks as possible on what really failed… what really caused the crash… who is really responsible and the GOOD NEWS MESSAGE:  We don’t really need “government” and that everyone would be much wealthier and harmonious without it!  THAT is what we are doing in Sedona on Nov 1st-3rd at Liberty on the Rocks – Sedona – The Voluntaryism Conference….

And if you saw the picture that I started out with, it’s the picture of RFK on stage with Trump, right? And I guess that’s the big news that Friday afternoon, a couple of days ago, RFK announced that he was suspending his campaign. in battleground states. He’s going to keep himself on the various ballots in other states. But ultimately, let’s be real. He’s quitting his campaign. He’s actively said he’s going to go out and campaign for Trump. So I don’t know how you still he’s trying to like have it both ways and tell his supporters, I’m not a sellout. I’m not giving up. You can still vote for me in these other states. But in the battleground states where it allegedly matters, you should vote for Trump instead.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekLiberty on the Rocks – Sedona – The Voluntaryist Conference – THE VIDEO! Your 1.5 Minutes of Zen!  Get a preview of what to expect from Liberty on the Rocks 2024 with a couple of clips from Liberty on the Rocks 2023!  Stay tuned as we will be syndicating the full talks from 2023 including what I think was Larken Rose’s best speech ever!

Lepore For Dailymail.ComA Republican running for Congress in Virginia has gone viral after a ‘family photo’ he used in a campaign ad was not what it seemed. Derrick Anderson, an Army veteran, is attempting to flip a blue district red in 2024 after its current occupant, Abigail Spanberger, announced she would vacate to run for governor in 2025.Anderson recently released a campaign ad that featured footage of himself with a woman and three children – what appeared to be a family photo – in an effort to play to women voters and family values.Continue reading”Daily News of The Week”Trump Pushes Narrative That Iran Is Trying To Kill Himby Tyler DurdenOn Wednesday, former President Donald Trump pushed a narrative being spread by US intelligence officials that Iran is trying to kill him even though there’s no evidence of Iranian involvement in either attempt on his life. Trump’s campaign said they were briefed on the alleged Iranian threat by officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which is led by Avril Haines. “Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire US Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again,” Trump wrote on X after the briefing. “Not a good situation for anyone. I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before.”The claim that Iran is plotting to kill Trump was first made by a CNN report back in July, following the assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was shot and killed by the Secret Service. The report acknowledged there was no evidence Crooks was linked to Iran, which was reaffirmed on Tuesday by intelligence officials speaking to The New York Times, who stressed there was no Iran connection to the July shooting.Continue readingNYC: “Drug-User” Vending Machine Offering Free Meth Kits and Condoms has to be Refilled Twice a Weekby Elvis DunderhoffWhen the American democracy government talks about “freedom,” this is what they’re referencing: free meth kits.They want as many people high on drugs as possible. It’s called democracy.New York Post:The city’s drug-user supply vending machine is so popular, workers have to refill it twice a week — with some neighbors embracing it and others saying it causes trouble like users “laid out in front of it.”Nearly four months after the introduction of the free machine — which offers everything from crack pipes to Narcan to condoms — drug users are still flocking to it to snap up supplies in Brooklyn, residents said.“[It] goes very fast,” the super of a building near the machine in Brownsville told The Post. “They take what they want and leave.”Some neighbors have accepted the contraption — which also spits out fentanyl test strips — as a necessary evil that helps save lives.Continue readingWho Is Kamala Harris and What Is Her Big Secret? Candace Owens Investigates!by Candace Owens and Olive BarkerJanet Jackson was recently harshly criticized for saying this about Kamala Harris: “She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.” She added that she heard that Kamala’s father was white. This has become an issue because Kamala Harris is courting the black vote and may be downplaying the white side of her family that were reported to have been slave traders. Candace Owens investigated the claim and opened a can of worms in her last 3 podcasts.Kamala Harris’ book, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, features a photo of Kamala with her purported paternal grandmother, Beryl. But it seems impossible because Beryl died in 1960 and Kamala wasn’t born until 4 years later in 1964. Kamala’s father, Donald Harris is a radical Marxist who was a professor of economics at Stanford University. He says that he was born in Jamaica in 1938, but there is no birth certificate for Donald Harris.Continue readingPutin orders conscription of 133,000 new soldiers to fight on the front lineby Sarah HooperVladimir Putin has ordered the conscription of another 133,000 soldiers to aid his war in Ukraine.The 18-to-30 year olds will be called up between tomorrow and December 31, but parents have raised fear that the untrained conscripts will be thrust straight into ‘hot’ border regions close to the war zone. The figure is higher than the same draft last year when Putin recruited 130,000, and in spring when he drafted another 150,000.The Russian regime is facing an increasing backlash over use of conscripts close to the war zone in defiance of an earlier Putin promise to parents that he would not put recruits in harm’s way. One grieving Russian mother has risked arrest by demanding from Putin  why her untrained conscript son, 18, was killed in the war, as she accused the autocrat of lying. Continue readingWhy Mexico Is on the Road to Serfdomby Sergio MartínezEighty years ago, Friedrich Hayek watched in anguish as Western liberal democracies seemed to embrace the authoritarian tendencies that had given rise to Nazism in Germany. In The Road to Serfdom (1944), he dedicated his work “to socialists of all parties,” warning that both left-wing socialism and national socialism were branches of the same tree. Hayek feared England would repeat the history he had witnessed in Germany when he wrote the following:When one hears for a second time opinions expressed or measures advocated which one has first met twenty or twenty-five years ago, they assume a new meaning as symptoms of a definite trend. They suggest, if not the necessity, at least the probability, that developments will take a similar course.Parallels in Hispanic AmericaHispanic America has experienced numerous manifestations of totalitarian government, making it easy for those from the region, like myself, to sympathize with Hayek’s warnings. Since President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) took office in 2018 in Mexico, my Venezuelan friends have repeatedly warned of the authoritarian similarities between Obrador’s government and those of Chávez and Maduro. Obrador, a politician with strong socialist convictions, published a book in 2018 that denounced corruption as Mexico’s main problem. What seemed like a harmless statement masked a dangerous belief: for Obrador, corruption was synonymous with privatization and private property.Continue readingThe Case Against Foreign Aidby Daniel J. MitchellThe main argument in favor of foreign aid is that rich countries can and should help poor countries become more prosperous. And plenty of politicians are following that approach. According to the latest data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, donor governments gave away more than $220 billion last year. But advocates of foreign aid say that’s not enough. The folks at the United Nations assert that rich countries should double their foreign aid budgets.Skeptics of aid have a different perspective. They explain that foreign aid is not successful and that increasing aid budgets would be throwing good money after bad. They argue that foreign aid is wrong in theory since it focuses on giving money to governments rather than the pro-market policy reforms that would boost growth. And they argue that foreign aid has failed the real-world test since countries receiving large transfers have not climbed out of poverty.Continue readingTrump, Israel & the Rothschildsby Dean HendersonExcerpted from my book Nephilim Crown 5G Apocalypse, Chapter 6: Why Trump is a Rothschild Tool.The moving of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al Quds in 2018 was marked by Israeli Defense Forces killing more than 60 unarmed Palestinian protestors.  It should have surprised no one that, despite the convening of a UN Security Council meeting to discuss the genocide, the US government said nothing to condemn the Israeli slaughter.  UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said,  “No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has.”Ironically, that Ministry of Truth version of “restraint” occurred on the 70th anniversary of the founding of Israel.   Back then, Stern Gang and Haganah Zionist terror cells operating in the British Mandate of Palestine, slaughtered Palestinian families, seized their olive and pistachio groves and moved into their deeded houses, all with the backing of President Harry Truman and the US government.Continue readingSupreme Court Unleashes Censors and Betrays DemocracBy James BovardOn the eve of the first presidential candidate debate, the Supreme Court gave a huge boost to Joe Biden to help him “fix” the 2024 election with maybe its worst decision of the year. It remains to be seen whether the court’s refusal to stop federal censorship will be a wooden stake in the credibility of American democracy.The court ruled in the case of Murthy v. Missouri, a lawsuit brought by individuals censored on social media thanks to federal threats and machinations. Court decisions last year vividly chronicled a byzantine litany of anti–free speech interventions by multiple federal agencies and the White House. On July 4, 2023, federal judge Terry Doughty condemned the Biden administration for potentially “the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.” A federal appeals court imposed injunctions on federal officials to prohibit them from acting “to coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress, or reduce … posted social-media content containing protected free speech.”Continue readingLudwig von Mises on Human Action and the Free Societyby Richard M. EbelingSeventy-five years ago, on September 14, 1949, Yale University Press published Ludwig von Mises’s Human Action: A Treatise on Economics. Almost 900 pages in length, it soon became recognized as one of the major works in economics in the twentieth century.Not that this recognition was felt in the economics profession of the time. Few reviews appeared in the professional economics journals, and the ones that did were far from complimentary. This was not surprising given the dominance of Keynesian and socialist ideas in the years following the Second World War. Few were the voices in the economics profession who were consistent advocates of a liberal, free-market perspective or had the courage to challenge the theoretical and economic policy orthodoxy of that time.It was presumed that the Great Depression had “proven” the failure of unbridled capitalism and that every society needed a transformation into either some form of government centralized planning or at least strong fiscal and monetary intervention by the federal government to ensure economy-wide stability and full employment. At the same time, any “reformed” capitalist system needed government regulatory restrictions on market competition to prevent monopoly and unfair business practices, along with a larger and larger redistributive welfare state.Continue readingIRS Attempts to Trace Monero in Leaked Training Video, Response from XMR Research Labby By #Tbot: Take Back Our TechIt’s no secret that the IRS and other agencies have been looking to trace private cryptocurrencies like Monero. Quickly gaining popularity amongst darknet markets and cybercriminals, Monero is now the de-facto choice for any financial exchange where confidentiality is paramount.Faced with the impossible task of tracing Monero, the IRS humbled themselves and asked for help from the leading cryptocurrency surveillance platform (or as they like to call themselves ‘blockchain data’ platform), Chainanalysis.This relationship blossomed into a $20M contract for Chainanalysis’ products and services to support the activities of different IRS departments including the Criminal Investigation Divsion, Cyber & Forensic Services, Small Business / Self-Employed, and Office of Fraud Enforcement.Continue readingHalf of All Deaths from Hurricane Helene Occurred 485 Miles North of Where It Made LandfallBy Pam Martens and Russ MartensAs an unprecedented humanitarian crisis was happening in real time yesterday morning in Western North Carolina, we turned on the Sunday News programs: CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper and, later in the morning, Face the Nation on CBS. We were stunned that the focus of both programs was the war in the Middle East and the presidential election.As both national news programs were airing, local news reports were coming out of Buncombe County, North Carolina that people there had no electric power, no running water, no cell phone service, impassible roads, and no distribution centers had been established for bottled water or food because the tractor trailers with the supplies had not arrived — two days after the hurricane hit. At the 10 a.m. press briefing by Buncombe County officials, 10 people were reported dead from Hurricane Helene with 1,000 reported missing. By the 4 p.m. press briefing, the number of deaths from the hurricane in just that one county had tripled to 30 according to Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller, who spoke at both briefings. At that point in time, the deaths in Buncombe County represented more than a third of all deaths being reported by the five states most impacted by Hurricane Helene.Continue readingIranian ballistic missile impacts reported across Israel after hundreds of deadly explosives launched at Jewish stateBy Ronny ReyesIranian ballistic missile barrage overwhelmed Israel’s defenses — with dozens of strikes seen on Tel Aviv and other population centers on Tuesday night.Footage of the harrowing barrage shows more than a numerous missiles hitting Israel and exploding in a fiery blaze within the span of 10 seconds, local KANN News reports.Similar videos on social media showed missiles or shrapnel hitting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other population centers. Impact sites have been reported in the cities, as well as in the south and in Sharon.The Israeli military said Iran was targeting 10 million civilians in Israel with its attack.All Israelis were ordered to take shelter in bunkers across the country.People take cover behind vehicles under a bridge along the side of a highway in Tel Aviv on October 1, 2024.AFP via Getty ImagesContinue readingRIP “Real” DiamondsBy Tyler DurdenAmy Wu, who worked for FTX Ventures until the crypto exchange blew up, recently joined Menlo Ventures, one of Silicon Valley’s oldest venture firms, as a partner focused on the consumer sector. The downturn in the diamond market is nothing short of breathtaking. It is driven mostly by a surge in low-cost lab-grown diamond supply, which is capturing a larger market share of the gem industry as cash-strapped consumers gravitate to artificial stones. Amy Wu, who worked for FTX Ventures until the crypto exchange blew up, recently joined Menlo Ventures, one of Silicon Valley’s oldest venture firms, as a partner focused on the consumer sector. In a viral post on X, the Menlo partner and analyst highlighted how 2023 marked a pivotal year in the battle between natural diamonds and lab-grown stones for market share.Continue readingMeta Ray-Bans: A privacy risk?by Martin CrowleyWhen asked whether it uses the images captured by its AI Ray-Ban smart glasses to train its AI models, Meta said “We’re not saying either way,” claiming it “wasn’t publicly discussing it” as it wasn’t something it typically shared externally.The smart glasses have a discreet camera on the front of the glasses which takes photos of the environment the user is in, either when asked to do so, or automatically when it hears certain trigger words like “look.” Its newest AI video feature takes a series of photos of its surroundings (sometimes without the user knowing) so it can offer nuanced, natural-sounding answers to questions. For example, if a user asks it to pick an outfit from a closet, it will take a multitude of photos of the user’s personal space to respond, and then store these images in an AI model in the cloud.Continue reading30 Lawmakers Sponsor Bill to End Liability Protection for Vaccine Makersby Brenda Baletti, Ph.D., El DefensorLink these words — This article was originally published by The Defender — to the original piece from The Defender website.A bill introduced late last week in the U.S. House of Representatives would end the liability protections Congress gave vaccine makers under the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.Thirty Republican lawmakers signed on as co-sponsors to House Bill 9828, End the Vaccine Carveout Act. The proposed legislation would end the broad protection from liability for injuries resulting from vaccines listed on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Childhood Immunization Schedule.“The … vaccine makers are criminal enterprises that have paid tens of billions in criminal penalties over the past decade,” Children’s Health Defense (CHD) founder and chairman on leave Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement on the bill.Continue reading‘House of Cards’: Some Cities Hit Pause on Water Fluoridation in Wake of Historic Federal Rulingby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D., El DefensorLink these words — This article was originally published by The Defender — to the original piece from The Defender website.Several U.S. cities, towns and counties announced they will stop fluoridating their water in the aftermath of a landmark federal court ruling that found water fluoridation at current levels poses an “unreasonable risk” of reduced IQ in children.Abilene, Texas; Yorktown and Somers, New York; and the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District in Utah are among those cities and districts that responded quickly to the Sept. 24 ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen.Chen ruled the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can no longer ignore the risk fluoridation poses to human — especially children’s — health and that the agency must take regulatory action.Continue readingGlobal Birthrate Collapse Will Be Worse than The Black Deathby Brian WangJim Rickards warns of the collapse in China’s population and collapse in global population. Nextbigfuture described these issues in mid-2023 over 15 months ago. I described the collapse as worse than the black death and Jim use the same description.Jim Rickards is an economist, lawyer, and investment banker with 40 years of experience in the capital markets on Wall Street.Jim emphasizes China population collapse problem but it is more than just China. It is Japan, Korea and all countries.The Rule of TWO… point oneHusband and wives MUST average 2.1 children. It is not optional for humanity and society.2.1 children replace 2 (the husband and the wife). Half of the children are female. 1.1 females at birth means 1.0 females should get to child bearing age and have a child.In biology, when a population starts declining, it is usually not a controlled thing that re-stabilizes at a lower level.Continue readingI Learned How to Fly This Electric Aircraft in a Week—and I Didn’t Need a LicenseSoaring a couple hundred feet off the ground, alone in a small aircraft with no piloting experience, sounds like a nightmare to some. But to me, flying solo has been a fantasy since a young Tom Cruise conquered the skies in an F-14.Pivotal, and a half-dozen competitors in the emerging eVTOL space, have created one-seat, electric aircraft to release your inner Maverick, with no formal flight training.But the Silicon Valley company’s 10-day program for owners, pilot or not, is a mandatory part of the purchase agreement.  It involves about 40 hours of flight training in a simulator, basically so you can prove you know the one-person aircraft well enough to fly it. That’s followed by 10 real flights. The BlackFly (pre-production version of the Helix that I trained in and flew) has been around for 14 years, though it’s a much different aircraft than the garage-built plane Marcus Leng first flew in 2011 to prove an affordable, everyman electric plane could change the face of aviation.Continue readingSimplicius: Iran-Israel Situation Report – Operation True Promise 2: Iran Strikes Again as Missile Barrage Overwhelms Israeli Defensesby SimpliciusIran unleashed their ‘Operation True Promise 2’ on Israel, sending hundreds of ballistic missiles which passed unopposed through Israel’s porous air defenses.One video showcasing the speed of an incoming Iranian—allegedly hypersonic—missile:Watch the above videos of hundreds of missiles hitting Israel, then read this deluded tweet by a Netanyahu aide, who with a straight face declared that most missiles were intercepted:Yes, the Tweet is actually real.Video from the Iranian situation room when the order was given to fire an alleged 200 missiles:The moment when IRGC Commander-in-Chief, Major General Hossein Salami, orders Iran’s missile strike on Israel from Khatam-al Anbiya Central HQ.One must recall, however, what I said about gerontocracies.The biggest question that remains is whether the missiles have inflicted any real damage, or if they were merely scattershot ‘psychological’ actions.Continue readingCOVID Index: New Research Tool Makes It Easy to Find ‘Censored Science’by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. The DefenderThis article was originally published by The DefenderChildren’s Health Defense (CHD) is hosting a new initiative, The Covid Index, a volunteer-run directory of scientific resources on COVID-19, ranging from peer-reviewed journal papers to whistleblower accounts.The index’s creators describe it as “censored science and expertise” that is “categorized, excerpted, and searchable.”Ursula Conway, president of CHD’s Arizona Chapter, is one of the volunteers involved in the initiative. She told The Defender The Covid Index “is a research tool, a quick reference guide” that “cuts through” online censorship.Kim Bare, another volunteer with the project, said The Covid Index is akin to “an online card catalog … of information sources related primarily to COVID.”Continue readingAmerica Last: After Spending $640 Million On Migrants And Billions Abroad, FEMA Suddenly ‘Broke’by Tyler DurdenThe Biden-Harris administration’s ‘America Last’ policies have left the country vulnerable. Between draining the strategic petroleum reserve, sending hundreds of billions in cash and equipment to Ukraine (such as electrical transformers that are now needed for Hurricane Helene), and FEMA spending $640 million to help migrants, the agency tasked with emergency preparedness is now ‘broke,’ and doesn’t have enough money to get through hurricane season which typically lasts through November.The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.Continue readingKelloggs Has Been Putting Chemicals in US Food That They Don’t Use in Other Countries – Petition Delivery to Corporate HQ on Oct 15thEtienne Note: Kellogg’s is one of the companies we identify in our article: Consumer Goods Monopoly Consolidation – The Drug Dealers and the Company Store and one of the companies in our article: Etienne & Jason Christoff – Why is 666 Hidden in Cartel Company Logos, Trump’s OK Sign and Twitter’s New Logo?  Coincidence they are putting harmful chemicals in their food that THEY DON’T USE IN OTHER COUNTRIES!!!By Food BabeIt’s time to hold Kellogg’s accountable!

This was a major risk of becoming yet another shitstorm for the Biden-Harris team, already dealing with a president totally out of it…And good lord, if Biden’s mental health has imploded – much like Bidenomics – then who the hell is in charge of the nation with mounting WW3 risks in the Middle East? Iranian hypersonic missiles rained down on Israel just days ago. Meanwhile, the International Longshoremen’s Association and the US Maritime Association reached a tentative labor agreement, with union members returning to work. The agreement would extend the previous labor contract through Jan. 15. The good news is that ports are reopening this morning. The bad news is for those holding long positions in shipping stocks. Continue readingTelegram ends encryption for personal chats amid criminal activity allegationsby Ruchi KumariTelegram, once hailed as a bastion of privacy, has recently made a significant change that has raised eyebrows among its user base. The popular messaging app has quietly removed its end-to-end encryption feature for private chats, just two weeks after its CEO, Pavel Durov, was arrested on allegations of allowing criminal activities on the platform.This move marks a departure from Telegram’s previous stance on user privacy. The company had previously emphasized that private chats were protected from moderation requests, ensuring that conversations between users remained confidential. However, the recent removal of the end-to-end encryption feature suggests a shift in Telegram’s priorities.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsYour 1.5 Minutes of Zen! – The Liberty on the rocks – Sedona – VIDEO! This year, Republicans are saying, “Hey, Elect Trump!” And honestly, he is going to rob everyone and force these policies on you.  The Democrats are saying, “Hey, Elect Kamala!” And honestly, she is going to rob everyone and force these other policies on you”Voluntaryists are saying: “Hey, Let’s not rob anyone!” “Government” is illegitimate and immoral on its face; it is the “technique” being used to rob and control the population.The world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order, and the free market can provide all the services provided by the “government” better, faster and cheaper without waste, fraud, abuse and extortion.Join David Friedman, Dr. Walter Block, Etienne de la Boetie2, Larken Rose, Derrick Broze, and James Corbett! in Sedona on November 1-3rd… live or via stream… to find out what the monopoly Mainstream Media and the controlled opposition voices of the Mainstream Alternative Media have been hiding from you. This year, Don’t “Vote Harder” to Rob Your Neighbors! in fake elections!
